Abstract: A method for characterizing post-processing data in terms of individual contributions from processing stations, the post-processing data relating to a manufacturing process for manufacturing integrated circuits on a plurality of substrates using a corresponding processing apparatus for each of a plurality of process steps, at least some of the processing apparatuses each including a plurality of the processing stations, and wherein the combination of processing stations used to process each substrate defines a process thread for the substrate; the method including: obtaining post-processing data associated with processing of the plurality of substrates in a cyclic sequence of processing threads; and determining an individual contribution of a particular processing station by comparing a subset of the post-processing data corresponding to substrates having shared process sub-threads, wherein a process sub-thread describes the process steps of each process thread other than the process step to which the particular processing station corresponds.

Abstract: A method, system and program for determining a fingerprint of a parameter. The method includes determining a contribution from a device out of a plurality of devices to a fingerprint of a parameter. The method including: obtaining parameter data and usage data, wherein the parameter data is based on measurements for multiple substrates having been processed by the plurality of devices, and the usage data indicates which of the devices out of the plurality of the devices were used in the processing of each substrate; and determining the contribution using the usage data and parameter data.
